Indeed;  What I'd really like to get at, however, is
having as few disks as possible (fewer moving parts
to go bad, configure, buy and generally worry about :) ), and 
those disks that do exist are in controlled environments.

Seems to me that would be useful in 'development' environments
where a broader spectrum of files are used more often, and
less useful in environments (e.g production, offices, etc )
where files (applications) are longer-lived and fewer in number.
I feel intuitively that the paging loads follow a similar
pattern, but I don't have any data to back it up :)

Looks like I need to write some activity simulations and
see what happens :)
